Shock

When the heavens finally seemed to calm one final bolt fell throwing Daedalus into the crater below him caused by the tribulation. A few moments later Ceridwen appeared picking Daedalus battered body out of the crater.

Ceridwen sighed while thinking, 'How did you call down a tribulation, just what did you do?' Sighing she carried him to an intact room where she placed him down to recuperate. He had been knocked unconscious at some point or another when he was struck by the tribulation lightning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days later Daedalus could be heard groaning in the room. After a while he sat up against the back board of the bed where he began to check over his body.

To his suprise his body seemed to have gotten stronger and actually wasn't damaged at all except for a few burns on his back. So Daedalus decided to make sure that his back would be okay.

As Daedalus looked at his back he started to frown as he realised that it wasn't what he expected, a patternless burn, but instead, what seemed to be a runic structure etched into his back. Trying to translate the runic structure was difficult but eventually he managed to translate it roughly to 'Heavens Chosen' shocking Daedalus.

Daedalus was shocked by this as he had never heard of it happening before. Before he could continue to study the runes though Ceridwen came in. Seeing that he was awake she sighed and said "You know you gave everyone a lot of worry. How did you call a tribulation though?"

Daedalus chuckled lightly and said with a smile "I formed twelve spiritual tethers, I guess the heavens where warning me to not take this path, but who am I to give in."

Ceridwen laughed at this and handed him a new set of clothes before saying "Get dressed, and I will tell you what I know about the next stage."

After Ceridwen had left Daedalus quickly got dressed and headed towards the throne room/ garden while thinking 'I guess I'll ask her about the runic structure on my back.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few minutes later Daedalus arrived in the throne room and found Ceridwen sitting at a table while looking at him. On the table was a plethora of foods, though mainly plant based.

Daedalus sat across from Ceridwen and said "Before we talk about cultivation I do have a few questions."

Ceridwen nodded at this and Daedalus continued "On my back is a runic structure that says something like 'Heavens Chosen', what do you think it means?"

Ceridwen's mouth opened and she said "My god, you where chosen by the heavens. That happens like once in a quintillion years, at least from what I heard."

Daedalus took a deep breath and sighed before saying "So I shouldn't tell anyone else about this?"

Ceridwen nodded, causing Daedalus to sigh before continuing "Okay second question, does having more spiritual tethers cause a longer life span?"

Ceridwen nodded at this and said "For us probably ten million years per spiritual tether, wow you can live for about one hundred and thirty million years at that level, just wow."
